Pinus pinea L. Periderm as a Sustainable Source of Phenolic Bioactives: Integrated Phytochemical, Antioxidant, and Elemental Investigation

Chemistry &Biodiversity, Volume 23, Issue 8, August 2026.
A hydroalcoholic extract from the renewable periderm of Pinus pinea is characterized through integrated phytochemical, biological and elemental analyses. The extract exhibits a phenolic‐rich composition, significant antioxidant activity and preliminary protection against oxidative stress in SH‐SY5Y cells, while elemental profiling indicates low levels ...

Effects of Simulated Herbivory on the Thermal Resilience of Two Temperate Seagrass Species

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 8, August 2026.
This study investigates how reduced leaf size via simulated herbivory influences the thermal performance of temperate seagrasses. Simulated herbivory enhanced physiological performance and resilience under elevated temperatures in Posidonia australis, but not in Heterozostera tasmanica.

Getting by With a Little Help From Fungal Friends: Seed‐Associated Endophytes Contribute to Seed Defense Against Fungal Pathogens in Keystone Tropical Trees

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 8, August 2026.
This study explored microbially mediated seed defense in fig (Ficus) species through inoculation experiments. We show that priority effects from endophytic fungi contribute to increased seed survival in the presence of fungal pathogens. ABSTRACT Soil‐borne fungal pathogens are known to be major causes of seed mortality in tropical forests; however, not

Fungal Community Composition Varies Across Floral and Extrafloral Nectaries

Journal of Basic Microbiology, Volume 66, Issue 8, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Floral (FNs) and extrafloral nectaries (EFNs) are key plant microhabitats that mediate interactions among plants, insects, and microorganisms, yet their associated fungal communities remain poorly characterized, especially in tropical ecosystems.

Morphological and trophic coupling distinguishes coral clades along a light gradient

Limnology and Oceanography, Volume 71, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract Light availability is critical to the growth and survival of most scleractinian corals due to their endosymbiotic relationship with photosynthetic dinoflagellates. Natural light gradients are expected to be associated with shifts in coral physiology, morphology, and trophic strategy.

Standardized 16S Meta‐Analysis Reveals Consistent Host‐Associated Patterns in Laminariales Epiphytic Microbiomes

MicrobiologyOpen, Volume 15, Issue 4, August 2026.
An integrated bioinformatic pipeline combining taxonomic, functional, and network analyses revealed host‐driven structuring of macroalgal microbiomes. Phaeophyceae hosted distinct epiphytic communities enriched in chemoheterotrophy and polysaccharide degradation, highlighting metabolic coupling, keystone taxa, and a standardized framework for ...

Taxonomic identities of Coelogyne roseans, C. chen‐tsii and C. niana (Coelogyninae, Orchidaceae)

Nordic Journal of Botany, Volume 2026, Issue 8, August 2026.
The taxonomic identities of Coelogyne roseans (= Pholidota roseans) and C. niana (= P. niana) have long been misunderstood. Our findings indicate that C. chen‐tsii (= P. longipes) is conspecific with C. niana, consequentially C. chen‐tsii is reduced to a synonym of C. niana. Although C. roseans and C.

Dicrananthera hedyotidea C. Presl. (Melastomataceae) in Maranhão state, Brazil: first record and ecological niche model of the species

Nordic Journal of Botany, Volume 2026, Issue 8, August 2026.
Dicrananthera C. Presl. is a monospecific genus of the tribe Marcetieae, comprising perennial herbs typically occurring in areas adjacent to wetlands. The species exhibits a disjunct distribution, with confirmed records in both the Amazon and Atlantic Forest domains.

Phylogenetics of Clusia sect. Criuva (Clusiaceae) unveils a new species, reinstates an old name and clarifies sectional circumscription

TAXON, Volume 75, Issue 4, August 2026.
Abstract Clusia sect. Criuva has long been a taxonomic catch‐all, particularly in the final decades of the 20th century, when misapplications conflated eastern Brazilian taxa with species from the Guiana Shield. We combine herbarium‐based genome skimming, targeted fieldwork, and critical examination of historical literature and types to reassess ...

Global Carbon Investment in Terrestrial Biological Nitrogen Fixation

Global Biogeochemical Cycles, Volume 40, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract Biological nitrogen (N) fixation (BNF) provides the N needed to produce proteins and other biological building blocks, helping feed humanity and mitigate climate change. Due to its high energetic cost compared to other forms of N acquisition, biotic investment in BNF indicates N limitation. Globally gridded BNF flux data provide an opportunity
